The production of this movie is not bad, we have certainly seen worse. Where this movie fails badly is in the story line. 10 minutes into the movie and you can predict exactly what is going to happen. It´s been done before, many times and much better. To be fair, it is watchable, just, lets say that if you are on a long flight across the world and this is the only movie available to watch then go for it but otherwise, this is one for the bin. Will we be watching it again in the future, highly unlikely.

This film had a budget of half a million dollars yet only made slightly more than for thousand dollars at the box office-in total-if the info I saw was correct. I believe it. I've never seen a more poorly conceived thriller in my life. The main character gets trapped in a small box made from shock proof glass or some similar material and thats the film. Basically all 1:47 is spent in a tiny confined space. It would have been better if the main character had spent maybe ten minutes in a confined space and then onto other things. They could have done that. They didn't. Very disappointing and also very hard to watch for the full length of the movie. There is no explanation given for the motivations of the antagonists in the film-was it money? Was it other things? Who knows. Tom Berenger, who was well known for doing the Sniper movies, was in this film at the end-to little avail-it still sucked as a cinematic experience.There was a hundred ways they could have made it better.

A government agent with a gambling problem is locked in a box in the trunk of a car, terrorists want to know the location of a secret base where the president will be and are going to keep him boxed up till they get it. It's kinda a action movie in a car trunk, if that makes any sense. This kinda has and interesting premise, and had some potential, but sadly it just never seems to realize it. Stephen Dorff is good for what he has to work with, and it has a few OK moments, but the twist ending seemed dumb and clunky,which just made the whole thing leave a bad taste in my mouth,cinematicly speaking. 2 Beards Out Of 5

This was a surprising film in the sense that it was one that I had not heard of but came across on a movie channel. I began watching it and was hooked within minutes. Considering it was just one actor in a very restricted space, this movie held my attention throughout. I would say however that this was to do with the acting of the very under-rated Stephen Dorff rather than the particular plot. In regards to the plot, it was one of those 'could have been great' rather than was great as it was predictable in the sense that the holes were too obvious to conceal the ending. This was a disappointment as with a few subtle changes this could have been a fantastic movie. I am pleased however that I finally saw Dorff in a role where he actually gets the chance to showcase his acting abilities. I would recommend this film but it is not one I would watch again.
